I luv when the summer comes around because Hubby gets to find these wonderful little treats around Miami for me. I adore quenepas.

They always remind me of growing up in New York City. Quenepas & Coco helado will always have a special place in my heart, remembering my brother & sister and I always fighting to see who got downstairs first to get some. But anyways back to the story...

The English name honeyberry. Or Spanish Lime. But to be honest with you, I just recently learned the name in English. They have & always will be quenepas to me ;) They will always remind me of home.
